realistic expections for returns per year through options

Quote from dfantome:

4-8% month if you don't actively trade.

but on a less than 100k account, trading from 9.30 to 4 everyday, and playing weekly options 10-20% is about where im at each week..

But.. I don't invest my account up to the brim.. im usually about 40% or more cash incase spreads turn against me.

On a small account i could do 20-40% weekly with what id call medium risk.

edit: my goal is 20% weekly, yes its high and sometimes I dont make it, and only do 15 or so, but I wouldnt call 20% in a week hard.. you just have to be aggressive. and just so I dont sound like some guru or god I had a 20% goal this week and ended up -2% for the week. first losing week in 7.

Wow, nice job man..at your rate soon you may be able to join Blackstone in the dell takeover.

I have a goal of only 15% a week..modest yes..but so far the past 1000 straight weeks I'm averaging a bit under 1%...but you inspire me...thanks.

just so im clear here, im talking about 20% of money invested each week, not account size.

Say i invest 5,000 in weekly posistions... my goal return would be 1,000.

Im not talking about 20% return on account every week...


Atticus the GOD probably pulls better numbers than that so I dont see how thats unreasonable.
 
Quote from voyager77:

wow i never thought my thread would garner this much attention

can anyone tell me what level of proficiency in mathematics is required to effectively trade options? i understand basic algebra and that's about it

sorry if my ignorance offends anyone just looking for some helpful advice. really not trying to push anyone's buttons.

as if right now i have no money to lose. i'm just going to college and trying to pass my classes. just interested in trading, thats all.

hope everyone has a good week

Basic algebra is really all thats needed but, why limit yourself?
Quants are all the rage these days, and they're the math guys.

Take your math ability as far as it can go, when the firms hire people, and ive looked on their sites to see what theyre looking for in candidates they want people with strong mathematics background.

I actually wanna go back to uni and major in math for this. to create algos of my own.

follow my journal when I make it.

And I said i dont invest my account up to the brim.
In a black swan event my losses are defined.

You stated you would send me the email with the NFLX run. You get lost along the way?

Send me a screenshot of your account value.

wtf does that have to do with your claim that you made that NFLX trade? You agreed to supply it and have failed to do so. Obviously you and your NFLX trade are false.
